Pubs across parts of the UK remain closed only until the start of England’s World Cup match against Mexico, with outlets citing updated government guidance that allows them to open for the game. The Manchester Evening News reports that rule changes mean pubs can stay open for the 1am kick-off of England vs Mexico, which begins early Monday. It also publishes information on which venues are opening, including confirmed locations from major chains.
The Mirror similarly lists openings for key pub groups, including Wetherspoon, Greene King and Fullers. Its report states that some venues will remain open late into the night, with specific outlets confirmed to operate until 5am on Monday morning. Together, the sources present a picture of extended opening hours for selected pubs belonging to these large operators, with individual venues announcing their own schedules. The listings indicate that while some pubs may open for the match, opening times vary by venue and are subject to each chain’s published confirmation.
